Abstract

This paper reveals that the wooden seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha at Sinheungsa Temple in Wando was created in 1628 through the interpretation of the Bokjang records, Balwonmun on Refurbishment of the Buddha Statue (1865), and comparative analysis of the style of the Buddha statues. According to the Bokjang record, the wooden seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha at Sinheungsa Temple was created in 1628 and refurbished in 1802, 1845, and 1865. The first enshrinement site of the statue was Daegwangmyeongjeon Hall at Daeheungsa Temple in Haenam, and it is confirmed that monk Cho-ui Ui-sun led the refurbishment of the wooden Bhaisajyaguru Buddha statue. Ui-sun refurbished the statue together with Wondam Naewon (1845) and Yongwan(Won) Giyeon (1865), monks who were active as painter in the Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do area in the 19th century. In particular, monk Ui-sun was outstanding in Zen Buddhism and academic arts, and led the Buddhist temple projects at Daeheungsa Temple in the 19th century. These two painter monks, Naewon and Giyeon, also participated in the production of Buddhist paintings at Daeheungsa Temple led by Ui-sun. The fact that the wooden seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha at Sinheungsa Temple in Wando was created in 1628 could be ascertained through the records of the Balwonmun on Refurbishment of the Buddha Statue (1865) and the style comparison with Buddha statues created in the first half of the 17th century. Based on several records written by monk Ui-sun, it is presumed that the wooden seated Bhaisajyaguru Buddha statue of Shinheungsa was created in 1628 and was enshrined as the left side Buddha statue among the Vairocana Buddha Triad at the Daegwangmyeongjeon Hall of Daeheungsa Temple. The Daegwangmyeongjeon Hall at Daeheungsa Temple was destroyed by fire and was rebuilt in 1841.
